  • xlim('auto')

  • xlim('manual')

  • m = xlim('mode')

  • xlim(ax, ...)

Input argument

  • [xmin, xmax] - x-coordinates: vector or matrix.

  • 'auto' - enable automatic limit selection.

  • 'manual' - freeze the x-axis limits at their current value.

  • 'mode' - returns the current x-axis limits mode.

  • ax - a scalar graphics object value: parent container, specified as a axes.
